We divide 491710 by 85
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 491710.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
85 goes into 49 0 times with a remainder of 49.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 49 to get 49.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 491 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 491 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 66.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 425 from 491 to get 66.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 66 and continue: 667 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
667 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 72.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we subtract 595 from 667, we get 72.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 721 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
85 goes into 721 8 times with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 578.0
If we take 680 away from 721, we end up with 41.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 410 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 410 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 70.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5784.0
Deduct 340 from 410 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
85 can be fit into 700 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5784.8
Subtract 680 from 700 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5784.82
If we subtract 170 from 200, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 9:
85 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5784.823
If we subtract 255 from 300, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 450 by 85, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5784.8235
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 425 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 250 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 80.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5784.82352
If we take 170 away from 250, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 800 by 85, we get 9 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5784.823529
Deduct 765 from 800 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
350 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5784.8235294
If we subtract 340 from 350, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 100 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5784.82352941
If we take 85 away from 100, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5784.82352941 with a balance of 1.5e-08.
